We are excited to announce that we are now offering medical grade red light therapy included in select sauna models. Photobiomodulation, as it is known in the scientific community, has become a popular therapy over the course of the last few years.
Typically, photobiomodulation, or red light therapy, uses a separate device and comes in several different sizes, or perhaps in the form of a face mask that can be worn. At saunas.org we have combined this technology into some of our saunas so that in one session you can benefit from photobiomodulation, as well as heat therapy. Our red light emmits from the ceiling next to our chromotherapy units. This red light combined with the near infrared light heating panels work synchronistically to provide the benefits of photobiomodulation.
Red light towers can run into the thousands of dollars, so if you are considering purchasing a sauna already, then it is worthwhile both for your health and bank account to consider combining both therapies with your purchase.
Photobiomodulation is associated with improved mitochondrial function, and more specifically, with ameliorated mitochondrial metabolism. This biological reaction to the combination of red light and near infrared light may produce a profound improvement in the following areas of health:
- Wound Healing
- Hair Loss
- Pain Management
- Sleep
- Brain Health
- Acne
- Skin Care
- Increased Circulation (1)
For more information on the biomechanics of redlight therapy please read our article on photobiomodulation. If you are interested in purchasing a sauna with red light therapy included then please take a look at our Summit Series as well as our Enlightenment Series. Both of these lines of saunas also include color light therapy in addition to the red light therapy so that you may maximize the health benefits derived from the light spectrum even while you benefit from the heat of the sauna!
